The Inspector General of Police, George Akuffo Dampare has denied having a working relationship with Daniel Bugri Naabu.
Appearing before the Parliament’s ad-hoc committee on Tuesday (12 September), Dampare said, “Honorable chair, I do not have a working relationship with him [Bugri Naabu].
“I know Bugri Naabu and my knowledge of him is the same knowledge I have about most people that I come across and also so many Ghanaians out there.”
He explained that Bugri Naabu has no commercial dealings with the Ghana Police Service.
“I have my aide-de-camp, who let me know if anybody wants to visit me. I cannot tell if there is a record of Bugri Naabu visiting my office. That information is at the reception. What I am trying to say is that he (Bugri Naabu) has not visited me,” Dampare said.
The former Northern Regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bugri Naabu, has played a major role in the incident involving the leaked tape.
He revealed on Monday (28 August), that he recorded the leaked tape concerning discussions about the possible removal of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare, from his office.
The former director general (technical) of the Ghana Police Service, COP George Alex Mensah, on his second appearance before the committee in Parliament on Friday (1 September), accused Dampare of engineering the secret recording.
IGP Dampare,however told the committee that he didn’t orchestrate the leaked audio saga.
Meanwhile, the IGP has strongly asserted that the allegations levelled against him in the leaked audio tape are wild, baseless and unfair.
